Our City Fathers are considering the
| idea of establishing grades for all our streets
| an sidewalks. This is good idea and the
| sooner it is done the better, but the trouble
will be to find a suitable base. The Dia-
| mond would seem to be the proper starting
point, but by general consent, the street in
| front of the Court House should come down
at least two feet.
Here is nut for the school boy to crack:
"a clerk counted out a basket of eggs. took
out two at time and one remained; he took
out three at time and one remained; he
took out four at time and one remained;
five at a time and one remained; six at a time
and one remained; but when he took out
seven at a time none remained. How many
eggs were in the basket"
A draft has been made of the addition to
the North Cemetery and also of the new
Catholic Cemetery. The Directors of the
two cemeteries met the other night and
agreed to have but one entrance for both, a
broad roadway to separate them. Twenty
acres will be added to the North Cemetery,
and the Catholic Cemetery will also contain
twenty acres.
A rather singular accident befell the lit
tie 5-year-old daughter of B. G. Rhodes, of
New Castle, last Monday. She was playing
with seyera! children, who were tossing
gravel in the park. One of the smallest peb-
bles, falling on the little ones head, punctur-
ed an artery. The child fell instantly in an
un conscious condition. The little one is now
out of danger.
The law prohibiting the killing of a calf
before it has attained the proper age is very
stringent. 1t provides that any person who
kills or causes to be killed, with intent to
sell the meat for family use, calf less than
four weeks, or knowingly sells or has in his
possession such meat, with the intent to sell
the same for such use to foreign market,
shall be imprisoned not more than six
months or fined more than $500.
The saying that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place" is contradicted by
the experience of Mrs. Peter Biehl, who
while sitting on her back porch during the
thunder storm of last Wednesday afternoon,
saw the lightning strike the brick pavement
between the porch and the pump twice in the
same place, and throw bricks and cinders to
distance of seventy6ve feet. A pine tree
in the Orphans Home grounds was struck
during the same storm.
The latest snake story comes from Woos-
ter, o., as follows: While Miss Emma Saal
was sweeping, q milk snake over two feet in
length secreted itself among the folds of her
skirts and crawled to her waist, where it re-
mained while she went calling. She felt the
snake, but supposed the feeling was caused
by disarrangement of her wearing apparel.
Several house later the snake was accident
ally discovered coiled around her ankle, from
which it was dislodged and killed.
Another is added to the list of remark
able surgical operations performed in differ
ent parts of the country within a short time.
1t was in the case of man at Buffalo who
had taken an overdose of morphia. When
the physicians reached him he had been un-
conscious for two hours. 1t was case for a

They opened the trachea, inserted tube and
kept up respiration by means of a bellor 5.
He began to revive at once and before the
doctors left him was out of danger. This is
the first experiment of the kind so far as
known, as cure for opium poisoning. The
secret is merely in keeping the lungs filled
with oxygen by artificial means.
An exchange has analysed the word
"picnic," and comes to the conclusion that it
is derived from the words "peck"-to nibble,
and "nack"-a trihe, and that q picnic is al
occasion at which you nibbe at trlfles. Such
slanderous analysis should not be allowed
to go uncontroyerted. We examined the
baskets for party offour that took in a pic
mic at Slipperyrock Park the other day and
can swear to the following list of contents: =
Six pounds of roast beef, two roasted chick
ems, two large cakes, and several dozen small
ones. four pies, two loaves of bread, two
quarts Of coffee, one jar preserved fruit, but
ter, jelly, pickles, oranges, bananas, etc.
They ate two meals and there was none left,
and if that was case of nibbling at trihes.
the world ought to know it.
The people of Beaver Falls were startled
by an explosion last Tuesday morning and up.
on hurry ing to the spot from which the sound
| proceeded it was found that barrel of New
Orleans molasses, lett standing in the yard Of
nd had 60 ,toI al
such degree from the hot rays of the sun
| that it had burst the heavy wooden hoops
with terrific force and sent the slaves aud
| liquid sweetness flying in every direction.
A paling fence was badly wrecked and q
grape-arbor near by was almost demolished.
A clerk narrowly escaped the flying frag-
ments and ran for his life, while little lad,
who had been peering in through the fence
at the time of the explosion, was found lying
on the pavement completely drenched with
the sticky substance and CRYING bitterly.
Further than a sweet bath be was not I'M ur-
| ed. The affair caused much excitement and
plenty of amusement when the cause Of it
was ascertained.
| During the hot weather, when exposed
to the sun, headache, ciddiness, nausea and
| disturbance of sight, accompanied with great
prostration of the physical forces are indica-
tions that sunstroke is probably imminent.
The best plan is to Immediately retire to a
cool place, and apply some simple restora-
tives as aromatic ammonia, and it can no
doubt be prevented. Those exhausted with
the heat haye cool moist skin, a rapid,
weak pulse and the pupil is dilated. I'M
| mediate unconsciousness frequently results
from heat apoplexy, and is likely to prove
fatal. Hot foot baths, bleeding, ETC., is the
best treatment in such cases. In thermic
fever the patient is unconscious and convuls-
ed, and the body temperature may be 10 de-
grees above the normal state, and the skin is
very hot. An application of ice to the head
and cold water to the body is the best treat
ment, as the object is to cool the body i'm
mediately. 1t is always best to obtain medi-
cal adyice in serious cases.-Er.
